Q: Hi 5i
What is your current opinion and outlook for Dell, given Nvda results. How comfortable would you be holding going into earnings today? Are they expected to meet their estimates or is it essentially a coin toss? They seem to be on a continued downward path.
Are Dell and HPQ considered similar ?

Would 5I have any interest in Dell at current prices?
Thx

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: General question about Microsoft. Historical data looks great, at least for the past number of years (when one looks at FCF, EPS, Share buybacks, Revenue growth, ROE, Debt - all appears to be great). Looking forward, what are your thoughts re investing in this company for the long term? My main concern is with valuation. It is trading at the high end of its average high P/E of the last number of years. What do you think are the plus, minuses and risk.
And as a secondary question, do you think there are better FAANG stocks, than MS (if yes, with a possible one sentence explanation)?

Thank You!

Q: How compelling of a buy is this one ? I read your most recent response to a reader after their drop on earnings? Would you buy here given the drop? If other large cap tech is more attractive (mag 7 already owned) please offer some names that you would rank above ANET. Thank you

Q: I have a sizable position in CLS.CA and am fortunate to have some in my TFSA. I know you can't give any sell or buy recommendations directly but as it is currently close to its one-year price target and with the recent Moody's downgrade I am wondering if a short-term drop (so trim the position) and buying it back closer to NVDAs earnings would make sense or not? CLS has a very thin operating margin as well so adds to my confusion of what to do. Any advice greatly appreciated as always!
Thanks, Lesley

Q: There are two stocks for this company NVDA.to and NVDA. One is on the US stock exchange and the other is the TSX. The difference in the stock price is more than just the US and Canadian exchange rate. Why is that? Is the stock on the TSX a B non voting share? Do you recommend buying this company and on which exchange?

Q: Hi Team,
Over the past several years, as a general rule, one of the best buying opportunities seems to be buying quality, best in breed companies while they are down. Stocks such as NVDA, META, SHOP, BN, CRWD come to mind here where in the past we have seen significant sell offs but the quality names always seem to recover. My question is, are we witnessing this type of opportunity right now with UNH? In reality the name has been a steady eddy, reliable grower in the sector for years. Now...it loses over half it's market cap in a month? In my un-professional opinion this seems much too extreme to me for a company of this magnitude, with a long track record of success, and seemingly huge moat in the US. Is it time to start picking away at buying this name, collecting the now near 3% dividend, and sitting on it for the longer term? Collecting the div and having the name recover in say 3 years would calculate to a quite lucrative return. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Can you please list your 5 highest conviction large cap and med cap stocks for a 5+ year hold? All US holdings please.

Also, is it fair to say the market has fully rebounded? Or is the worse still to come? I understand it’s impossible to predict, but your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thank you for everything
